Connecting your system

There are three options for connecting your SoloCinema XTR system and sources to 
your television to create a great-sounding audio-video system.  A brief discussion of the 
benefits of these methods follows: 

Connection Method #1:

All sources into your SoloCinema XTR (suggested) 

Connect your video and audio sources into the SoloCinema XTR, and connect the 
SoloCinema XTR to the TV set via one HDMI cable (pictured).  The HDMI cable runs 
from the HDMI output of the SoloCinema XTR to an HDMI input on the TV set.  

This method means that you will use the SoloCinema XTR remote for switching between 
the sources you have connected to the system (BluRay player, cable box etc.)  This 
method is recommended because it ensures the highest resolution audio and video 
signals for the best possible audio performance. 

Note: 

For greater convenience, you can program the SoloCinema XTR to respond to the 

power, volume, mute, and source select commands of your TV or cable box remote.

See 

the “IR Learn” section of the OSD Set-up Menu Functions 

for instructions.
